LGBTQ Elders Reflect on Stonewall After the AIDS Crisis

Only 10 years after the Stonewall Riots in New York City that started the gay liberation movement, the AIDs epidemic hit the United States. From 1981-1994 over 400,000 people were diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. With the virus disproportionately impacting the LGBTQ community, many of the Stonewall survivors were lost, along with first hand history of the historic riots.

HBO should do a bio-TV series about the aftermath of Stonewall in San Francisco & Fire Island during the 1980s-1990s.

What a beautiful group of people all with such interesting stories!

[@ChrisKam1kaze]

jordan is a jellybean but what if they were Christians? Would they still be beautiful?

[@jordan9224]

Chris Ullery Yes...that wouldn't change a thing...what's your point mate?

[@jordan9224]

Chris Ullery I'm sure multiple people in this video are Christian. Their religion doesn't change my opinion of them at all...what are you on about dude?

[@ChrisKam1kaze]

jordan is a jellybean, it was just a question...no ill intent meant. I see a lot of persecution towards Christians today so that’s why I asked your opinion.

[@jordan9224]

Chris Ullery Ah I see. Well, my opinion is that everyone is equal no matter what. I think it's really cool of you to ask questions in a comment section. That allows for a good variety of answers. But yeah, I don't really mind if a person is of a different religion at all. Christians are typically good people, but they're are bad people in every religion. It's inevitable. There's religious extremists and also people who frankly couldn't care less about religion. And that's a wonderful and beautiful thing. Thanks dude.
